The Dutch Heart Foundation, KWF cancer fund, and the Lung Fund are going to the Advertising Code Commission to try and stop McLaren from advertising snus during the Formula 1 in Zandvoort. The sale of these nicotine sachets is banned in the Netherlands, but advertising snus is allowed, De Telegraaf reports. Velo - the brand name of British American Tobacco’s snus - is emblazoned on the Formula 1 car of the Mclaren racing team. This car will be very publicly visible during the races in Zandvoort next week and in the publicity campaigns around them.
